The Algeras

It was a gorgeous day today! Warm and sunny. It's hard to believe it really is October. I keep remembering that it snowed when Sara was born. I don't think we'll be seeing snow tomorrow!

We had a very slow start to the day after all the excitement last night. Sara crawled into bed with us in the early morning and snuggled in until about 8:30. She started doing this occasionally and I'm not sure why. She just wakes up and goes looking for mommy.

We took a short trip to the mall so I could find some shoes that fit. My feet seem to have grown since last winter. The kids were not up for a long shopping expedition, though. So we went to Grandma's for a little visit. Sara ate her lunch on the porch and got Grandpa and Dad to read lots of books to her.

Both kids fell asleep on the drive home, so I took a nap and Ben watched Michigan lose another game.

David sat in the highchair to watch the rest of us eat. He's been fussy lately and sitting up seems to make him a little happier. His shirt explains his theme for the day. He was a hungry little munchkin. He seemed to have fun being at the table with us. He played with the straps and made talking noises.

Sara would not be separated from the doll she got from Grandma and Grandpa Z today. She threw a fit when I told her the dolly couldn't go in the bathtub with her. "Baby is dirty! Needs bath, mommy!" She grabbed it as soon as I dried her off. Now she's in bed with her dolly. I can hear her kicking the wall occasionally but she's quiet and will be asleep soon. David is being fussy and walking with Daddy. I hope he gets over this fussy/hungry streak. I guess he's just growing. Just add milk, you know!
